Seva Cafe in Ahmedabad, India is redefining the idea of a fine dining experience. Operated on the principle of a "gift economy," this restaurant serves food at no charge. Diners enjoy meals that have been paid for by those who came before them. And what patrons contribute is a matter entirely up to them. "You pay from your heart," explains one of the many volunteers who cook, clean and serve at the restaurant. "The idea is to promote the idea of giving."

“With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the very eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service.Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.”

If you ever find yourself on Ahmedabad (near CG Road across from Municipal Market in Shoppers Plaza (IV) on the 4th floor) do visit and enjoy an incredible dinner dining experience. Even more, if you have the time or inclination, see if you can serve a little - perhaps wash some dishes or help serve fellow guests. I love this place and the consistent contributors that make this place so inspiring!!!

While watching this inspiring video I felt as if I was at Seva Cafe. I felt the joy of sharing and serving and being connected. Thanks for your selfless service.
The video took me to Ahmedabad, India
some 64 years ago, a young man reading a poem by Carl Sandburg at the Family of Man expo:
There is one Man in the world and the Man's name is All Man;
There is one Woman in the world and the Woman's name is All Woman;
And there is one Child in the world and the Child's name is All Child.
